Texas features hill country, agricultural plains, deserts to subtropical coasts. It has a very large Hispanic influence and is rich in history.

Along the coast, Galveston and Corpus Christi are booming centers for tourist, fishing, sailing and commerce. Austin the capital is a hub for music, the LBJ Library and Museum and the home of the Texas Longhorns-The University of Texas. The hill country around San Antonio is extensive and when in the city be sure to visit the famous River Walk. North Texas  is grazing country and out west is where the start of the desert southwest for the United States begins. Texas is a vacation in itself for everyone-appealing to everything from cowboys and rodeos to big city life. It is all here in the Lone Star State.
